Book Description
Excerpt from Oxford Books, Vol. 3: A Bibliography of Printed Works Relating to the University and City of Oxford or Printed or Published There; Oxford Literature, 1651-1680 The third quarter of the seventeenth century was the most interesting and eventful period in the history of the Oxford University Press, until recent times. It witnessed the change from two printers, with a few apprentices, working in private houses, to a staff of thirty or more, housed in a public building and producing important works: and enough details are available to enable us to see and estimate the failures and successes which attended the process Of evolution. It is perhaps desirable to orientate ourselves by a sketch of the doings of the Press at Oxford before 1650.
